slanting course, IL buried itself In the earth ~

the hole made by the metorfc stone had cayed In
upon IL, leaving IT buried beyond sight. Several
fragments OF the stone lay scattered about and
the atmosphere about the place was tmpregnated
with the smell OF sulphur. The meteor1c frag-
ments were OF dull greyish and dark color, indi-
eating q combination OF obsdion tractile, and
pumice. They viii be brought to this city, and

which the 9rote imbedded Itself VIII involve con-
siderable labor 70 bring IL 70 Light, but the stone

GEN. CROCKER LIKELY TO HOLD THE POSITION FOR
SOME TINE no CONE.
Within few days after the appointment OF
Hon. Edward F. Bingham as Chief Justice Of the
Supreme Court OF the District there were rumors
OF an impending change in the wardenship OF the
jail. 1t is known that one or two parties here
drew up applications for the place and had let
ters OF recommendation prepared. To-day there
is a rumor in circulation that Col Morrow, OF
Ohio, friend Of the chief justice, who has been
here some time, is to be appointed. There Is the
best authority for stating that no applications for
the position have been filed and that the judges
have not yet considered the subject. 1t may also
De said that the judges regard the wardenshtp as
being much in the character OF their own offices,
which should not be affected by political con-
siderations. Gen. JnO. s. Crocker IS the tncum-
bent, having been appointed to the position in
